Flamingo Cantina

Austin’s home for reggae, dub, and ska both locally and from far-flung locales, Flamingo Cantina’s island oasis on Sixth Street remains a true diamond in the rough. With a tropical vibe wafting straight from Jamaica and closing in on the quarter-century mark, the funk mini-amphitheater space provides a laid-back alternative to the collegiate tomfoolery encompassing the rest of Dirty Sixth. Stadium seating surrounds a floor space to grok reggae legends like Lee “Scratch” Perry and live music residencies including the Mau Mau Chaplains.
